Screen on time - Honor 4x Real Life Review

Evo 3d battery

What's the average battery life for everyone
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
About 7 hours for me. I'm planning to buy an extended battery . I always have to check my Facebook and twitter every hour and send about 400 texts a day and run Google music. In pretty sure if I was using my sister's evo it would only last me 5 hours lol.

So it is better then the evo?
Anybody know about vs the photon
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
Yes it better than the Evo not by much but I'm sure that the Devs will cook some kernals up for the 3d to improve battery life a bit more. I'm not sure about the photon, but I know that the photon has a slightly smaller battery, 1500mah I believe. But it's not size that matters, it's how you use it.
On my ROM, I get about 19 hours of moderate usage.

If you're not worried about how big your phone is just get a seidio super extended battery. I got the biggest one they make for the Evo 3D, 4000mHa, and it lasts about two days and I'm a pretty heavy user. Even if you are a heavy multimedia user the 4000mHa will last you all day no problem.

Mine shows 12hrs up time with 3.5hrs awake time and still has 60% battery left on stock ROM. I guess I would call it light to moderate use. I should be within that range by the end of the night.

[Q] Your Max Battery Life!

What have you encountered as your maximum battery life?
If the figure is hmmm too much, tell us what you used!
what do you mean? maximum standby time or usage? is it the milivolt? please elaborate
Around 1½ day i believe. But normally ill charge it at night where it has around 20-30% left
edit:
Usage: Music(+DSP), SMS, a few calls, Web browsing (2G/3G/Wifi). Dont really play any games but I do watch musicvideos sometimes which is takes around 15minutes.

Lmfao yeah that happens. But you can get Power Saver form the market. It really works. What it does is clock down the processor depending on what profile you set the app to.
Even though, today I haven't used the phone much and it's been discharging from 16 hrs and it's still at 60% (with Power Saver turned off). I've only used it for light texting today and that's it. 3G is what sucks the battery dry. Sometimes I use Edge only (2G) and the battery lasts me a whole day and more. The other day it lasted me a whole 24 hrs and it was still at about 19% left. I'm guessing the battery can last long or short depending on the usage.

But he didn't use it. Still it's a big drain at around 1%/1.5h, comparing with the x10 mini pro with 970 mAh battery which drains at 1%/3.5h....
Cyanogenmod for ace isn't that optimized for battery life.

With Juggernaut Rom, brightness turned down and web/wifi off I can literally get like 3 days almost if I'm not texting heavily. As soon as I turn internet on I'd say a max of 12 hours. The best battery life I ever got out of it was BeastMod, CPU underlocked to just 1ghz and brightness turned down. Even with web on, still got me almost 2 days - sync off.

Assuming the battery is drained at a rate of 1% every 5 minutes, you are going down 12% per hour, which equates to 8.3 hours of battery life. What's the problem again?

Is this happening when sitting idle and the screen is off? That would be a problem. However, as the above post was kind enough to do the math, 8+ hours of use/screen-on time is good.

Still on the low side IMO. The only time I have seen it drain that fast is with 50% or more screen brightness while playing Need For Speed at 1.7GHz and an overclocked GPU.

I can kill the battery in around 3 hours running a game at full brightness
Lol I'm happy when I get 6 hours+ screen time on below 50% brightness and normal usage (browsing, watching movies, very light gaming occasionally).
Were you guys getting better battery life after a few cycles? My battery life so far is not amazing around 5% drop a minute just browsing on wikipedia researching, so its not even heavy browsing

My battery life has improved quite a bit by flashing the KTmana kernel and underclocking the CPU.
I usually get about 2 days of usage with 7+ hours of screen time on mine before I worry about plugging it in. I have my brightness at the lowest setting the entire time, which I'm sure helps, but there just doesn't seem to be a need for me to have it any brighter.

Really bad move in my opinion, unless they fixed the memory performance problems
They haven't fixed them that much, besides unlocking and installing a new kernal.

I sold that exact tablet for this and haven't looked back for a second. Incredibly slow system and the only way to bandaid it is by unlocking your boot loader which voids your warranty.
The only thing that tablet has over this in my opinion is it charges 10x quicker, and the tablet UI is a lot nicer.
However its your money. You should be the only one who cares. If your happy with that tablet over an N10 then good! The N10 is far from perfect.

I have yet to have a phone that did not get improved via battery life from a custom ROM, even just a debloated and streamlined version of the stock one. Fully stock roms tend to just have too much crap on, and in, them to have wrangle out max battery life, max performance, or a truly optimal mix of both.
Using NOS underclocked to 1GHz undervolted 75mv across the board all set to conservative and 10 hours later 3+ hours of screen on data downloading GPS etc 60% Battery Remaining... Very nice

I can't complain. NO Root or Custom Roms...Stock. Pleased and v/surprised at same time. Yesterday was crazy good. Can't remember exact bat stats, but about 2 hrs talk, 20+ SMS and MMS, NO Wifi, NO Bluetooth, maybe 15 min browsing, appx. 15 min GPS and Screen couple hrs. No tricks or apks, just always turn off locations, wifi and bluetooth when not using ans auto-sync always off. Also disabled many bloat apks that I will never use.
17 Hours total 22% with 6 Hours of Screen On Time.

I just installed Viper this last weekend and I got 60 hours on my first full charge with light usage. I don't think I even tweaked anything on the ROM or screen settings, and this is just with whatever kernel came included with the ROM.

I'm getting 16-20 hours with around 4 hours on time. I'm underclocked and undervolted , brightness at 25% most of the time, and I just supercharged my phone so I'm waiting to see if that'll help it. I know I've got my standby battery drain down to one percent every 2.5hours. Left it off the charger last night and it was at 98% when I woke up 5.5 hours later. Just gotta play with the settings and tweaks.

Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
I get good battery life most of the time. But I am at the ball fields with my kids a lot with no way of charging mine or my wife's phone.
So I got me an Anker portable battery and it saves me all the time. I purchased the Astro E4 13000mAh Dual USB so me and my wife can charge our phones at the same time without looking for a outlet or going to the car. We can both charge our phones 3 times each on this thing before its dead.

As far as battery life is concerned, wifi > 3g > 4g.
But if you're not connected to a wifi network, leaving wifi on will drain your battery. It may not be by much, but I always turn wifi off when I'm not on wifi.

Battery consumption overnight xenonhd

Hi all,
I'm curious to see what kind of battery consumption people are getting on this rom. I'm running it now, and my battery will lose ~10 % over the course of about 6-7 hours of sleep. I just may be use to my old note 5 which would go down maybe 5% over the same amount of time? Also use accubattery app to see average screen on and off % usage per hour:
Screen on: 11.3%/hr
Screen off: 1.8%/hr
Let me know what kind of stats u all have, thanks!
